This is similar to most places right?

The 1% piggies want more while the starving ~60% of working class and below struggle with the mandatory minimum. Typical ownership controlled dynamic.

For reference: the 1% in the US owns 31.7%. Not as bad as Mexico, but still pretty terrible.

That cannot be right. the top .001 percent own more wealth than the rest of the country, on paper, I bet. I dispute any numbers that state otherwise. While property values may throw it outside the 1%, income producing assets should be weighted, and the rich control those.
